One of the ways that Sherlock deduces that David still has romantic feelings for Mary is that in all his Facebook pictures of John and Mary, John is, \u2018always partly or entirely excluded\u2019. \u00a0This shows that he wants John, \u2018out of the picture\u2019, so to speak.<\/p>\n

Then we see director Colm McCarthy\u2019s approach to framing his shots during the best man speech. \u00a0During Sherlock\u2019s speech, Mary is, \u2018always partly or entirely excluded\u2019, in any shot that also includes Sherlock. \u00a0Janine, a character we\u2019ve only just met, and of much less importance to the proceedings, seems to have plenty of room to fit in shots that exclude Mary.<\/p>\n

If excluding half of a couple is a sign that someone wants them to not be a couple, then, here, the show is explicitly telling us that John and Mary are not the right couple. \u00a0The compositions escalate from merely cutting Mary out to having Sherlock actually physically block her from the audience\u2019s view. \u00a0We are meant to not see John in relation to Mary but Sherlock. \u00a0It\u2019s always Sherlock.<\/p>\n
